Yaaawwnnn!

I must admit to yawning quite a bit through this Underworld copycat film complete with demons, vampires, werewolves…you know the standard sort of fare.

Its not that it was exactly a bad film, it had some interesting moments, just that I’ve kind of seen it all before. Apparently an original book by Cassandra Clare (yes very original) the first book of The Mortal Instruments series. I guess this means there will be some harry-potter-esque sequels in the wings (Actually having brought Harry into the mix, this is probably the thing I most disliked about about the film, all its silly spells and quests; but then I didn’t much like the Lord of the Rings either).

Sex appeal-wise Lily Colins (and indeed Lena Headey) were no comparison to Kate Beckinsale in a tight-fitting cat suit leaping about killing vampires. It was not frightening in the least; perhaps the most “creepy” aspect of the film would be that we find out (spoiler alert..look away) the young couple falling in love and kissing in the garden are actually brother and sister! (..well I suppose everyone knows this from the book anyway..)
